Skol303 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've had a play on the 'acid' one (I think that's the Volca Bass?) and it was surprisingly good for what essentially looks and feels like a toy. A mate of mine brought it along to an 'electronica jam session' we had a few months back. Battery powered and we just hooked it up through a regular interface. Had a really good sound and all the tweakability of a fully-fledged TB-303. Well, maybe not [i]all[/i]... but it was a nice little box of tricks and like I said, the sound it produced was great. I seriously considered getting one for a while, then bought a software 303 emulator instead (AudioRealism Bassline), only because I didn't have regular call for 303 sounds. But whatever. I'd certainly consider buying these Volca products in future. Most importantly, they're FUN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticktock Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 We got a lend of one for one of our jam sessions. Wow, great sounds. We had it burbling along and it sounded great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 G4M have got some nice synths out in their new showroom eh. That's where I bought my Bass Station 2 a few weeks back, but it was nice to be able to a/b it against the Arturia Minibrute, Microbrute, Moog Sub Phatty, Little Phatty, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just discovered the Waldorf[size=5] [b]Streichfett[/b][/size]! Fans of German will know that means [i]spreadable fat[/i], or as one wag put it, it makes you sound like Margarine Dream. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiwo6ljvg9E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 [quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1414012913' post='2584938'] I just discovered the Waldorf[size=5] [b]Streichfett[/b][/size]!

The patch at the beginning sounds just like the Korg Delta I borrowed from a friend a decade ago, which he has yet to ask for the return of!
